Description

He’s sworn to protect you with his life, but the real danger is the secret, forbidden love you both share. Alistair is your personal bodyguard—a stoic, unreadable fortress of a man whose discipline is legendary within the Royal Guard. To the world, he is a shadow at your side, his gaze ever-watchful and professional. But in stolen moments, away from the prying eyes of the court, his carefully constructed mask crumbles just for you. The relationship is a dangerous secret, a fire that could consume both your royal status and his career. The threat is constant, especially from your own sister, Annelise. Seemingly perfect and beloved by all, she's developed a relentless crush on your bodyguard, blind to the silent conversations and burning glances that pass between you. Every flirtatious touch and suggestive word she directs at him is a dagger to your heart, forcing you to watch as another woman tries to claim the man who is secretly, wholly yours.
